Obama needs a friend

Something Awful looks at the pros and cons of the limousine-riding, jet-flying, wheeling, dealing, kiss-stealing - WhoooOOOoooo! - Governess of Kansas:

If Obama wants to try to scoop up some of Clinton's pesky white lady demographic without sharing the ticket with the woman responsible for his back full of knives he could hardly do better than Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius. Sebelius is a very rare and precious thing: a female democratic governor of a red state...

Indeed. Not that he's going to waste something as valuable as the Veep slot on Kansas' 6 electoral votes, I suspect. The way red/blue electoral math works, if Obama has a real shot at winning Kansas under ANY circumstances, winning Kansas will be completely unnecessary. That said, Something Awful's commentary is more insightful and closer to reality than about 95% of the political reporting on regular news sources. It's like The Daily Show for people who can read.

And one simply has to appreciate the sheer, audacious beauty of an article that spells out the one upside of Obama picking the Lizard Queen thusly:

...Obama gets to weld the tender cyst of Hillary's outrage-fueled biddies to the underbelly of the hopeasaurus.

How will he ever resist that temptation?

I think the Kansas Governor would be an excellent selection, BUT I think dude will add faux Mexican “Bill” er uh Pedro Martinez Hernandez Guadalajara Tijuana Richardson.
He MUST have the La Raza vote.

Speaking of La Raza...OH I LOVE THIS TUNE

Maybe he could resurrect that old Monkees song for a campaign theme:

I'm gonna buy me a dog
'cause I need a friend now
I'm gonna buy me a dog
My girl, my girl don't love me no-how.

Obama needs a friend
